The butterflyfish arrived healthy and looks vibrant in my 125-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. The coloration is striking with clear white and black bands. Easy to maintain with regular feeding.

It’s a beautiful addition to my reef tank. The white dorsal filament stands out. Feeds well on a mix of flakes and frozen foods. Slightly shy at first but settles in quickly.
